Soundcheck: The 20 Best Music Releases Of The Week

King Princess, Tinashe, and so many more

Every weekend, we bring you #SOUNDCHECK—your destination for the best new music that hit the web over the course of the week. Because you should always be prepared when someone passes you that AUX cord. This week's roundup features 20 of our favorite emerging and established artists including King Princess, Tinashe, and so many more. Turn up, tune in, and tune out.

King Princess was crowned (Cheap) Queen of the Baby Gays a long time ago, but leave it to her to cement herself as Gen-Z's idol-in-the-making with a guitar-heavy ballad with "Ohio". She might have even managed to make the most boring state of any road trip into something cool again, but that's yet to be determined. From this point, all anyone should hope for is more KP, guitar solos, and just the right amount of heartbreak.

Elsewhere in the music universe, Tinashe gave her Songs for You track "Save Room For Us" a dance floor-ready remix with MAKJ. Rico Nasty took a step into the electronic world with Boys Noize on "Girl Crush", yet again showing off that there's nothing she can't perfect. Multiple new artists made incredible debuts, including Philly trio Personal Trainer with "Backyard", and vocalist VINCINT with his EP The Feeling.

Check out all the week's best releases below.
